BaseElements Plugin Updated to version 3.0

We’ve released another version of our free FileMaker plugin, this time to 3.0. This versions brings some new functionality :

BE_ExportFieldContents – allowing you to do exports from containers on FMS

BE_FTP_Upload – self explanatory I hope.

BE_HMAC – encoding format often used in Web Services authentication

BE_Xero_SetTokens – to allow the use of the XeroAPI from within FileMaker.

This also adds some new, but hidden functionality, that will be finalised in a future release ( the soon to arrive 3.1 version )

BE_EvaluateJavaScript

BE_SMTP_Server

BE_SMTP_Send

BE_EvaluateJavaScript looks to be very interesting and have a host of neat possibilities.

This version removes some previously deprecated functions :

BE_ExecuteShellCommand

BE_FileMaker_Tables

BE_FileMaker_Fields

If you were relying on BE_ExecuteShellCommand you will need to change your code to use BE_ExecuteSystemCommand instead, and the two internal SQL functions can be done with the new Execute SQL function.

As well there’s been error handling fixes to BE_ProgressDialog, the BE_ListFilesInFolder will force the correct path separator, BE_MessageDigest will show an error for passing an invalid algorithm and the Zip functions have better error handling and now support empty folders inside zip files.
